Claude MONET 1840 France – 1926
Meules, milieu du jour [Haystacks, midday]

Tomorrow, the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin opens Turner to Monet. This selection of 40 nineteenth-century paintings includes works from Impressionist artists Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas, as well as British and American masters J.M.W. Turner, Gilbert Stuart and Asher B. Durand. Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin masterpieces are included as well.

You won’t ever see works by all these artists together again as there isn’t a single collection in the world that has this whole gamut of 19th century landscape art.
